		Each stack of circling aircraft starts at 7,000ft and rises to 18,000ft and the flights are spaced at 1,000ft intervals.
		The stacks are fed by a steady stream of incoming aircraft entering UK air space at Clacton or one of nine other sectors.
		Bad visibility throughout the south of England meant that aircraft were stacking for longer and flying further apart than usual that day, so most flight arrivals were delayed and some were running low on fuel.

	London Heathrow Airport - Article from FactBug.org - the fast Wikipedia mirror site
		Bovingdon stack is the holding area to the north west of London where some inbound planes are held in a spiral pattern generally between four and thirteen thousand feet.
		Whilst in such a holding pattern an airliner will typically range up to about 6 nautical miles from the reference radio beacon and all will fly in a standardised published direction across that fixed beacon prior to commencing the next circuit at a flight level given by air traffic control.
		Extreme skill is required to harmonise the aircraft departing from the four stacks in terms of speed, and to guide their pilots through concise radio commands, onto the glidepath to a single runway at suitable and safe intervals, typically no less than 4 nautical miles.
